De finales de los 70, Alabama es uno de los grupos de country más populares. Con un sonido roquero, volvieron a popularizar a las bandas de country en una industria a favor de los artistas en solitario. La formaron en Fort Payne, Alabama, los primos Randy Owen, Teddy Gentry y Jeff Cook y editaron un single de debut de producción independiente "I Wanna Be With You Tonight" en 1977. Tras "Tennessee River" de 1980 comenzaron una saga de 27 números 1 en las listas del country y 7 álbumes de platino durante una década.
